Thanks a lot for the explanation, then I guess s/4/8 is enough.

Unfortunately there are no boards in mainline using this "linux,gpio-keymap"
property so I tried to figure out what the expected values were by reading the
driver. So is more than possible that I got them wrong.

By passing all these keycodes the touchpad worked as expected for me and the
driver did the same than the Chrome OS driver that has these keycodes hardcoded
when is_tp is true.

I don't have access to proper documentation and I wouldn't expect people to have
access to non-public docs in order to use a Device Tree binding.

That's why I wanted to document an example, so using this property could be
easier for others and they shouldn't have to look at the driver in order to
figure it out (and getting it wrong as you said :) )

So it would be great if you could provide an example on how this is supposed to
be used.

Thanks for the hint, I didn't know that this was the case but I just looked at
input_mt_init_slots() [0] and indeed those are not needed.

Best regards,
